Review: Starbucks - Sage and Butternut Squash Croissant

Starbucks' Sage and Butternut Squash Croissant is part of their new La Boulange line of bakery goods and features a "flaky savory pastry with butternut squash, sage, and crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds."

It came warm and cost $3.45.

Between the butternut squash and the buttery croissant, the pastry comes off feeling very rich. Both are very buttery and a little heavy.

The croissant dough develops a slight bit of crisp layers from warming. All the butter leaves it feeling a bit greasy, but still good between the combination of soft layers and crispy crust.

The filling is smooth and soft with an herby sage flavor paired with savory butternut squash and the occasional slightly crunchy pumpkin seed.

Overall, Starbucks Sage and Butternut Squash Croissant comes off a little heavy but good. It actually feels like too much in some bites. It might be enough for a light meal for some.
